Congressional lawmakers have accused the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) of stonewalling their requests for documents on the assassination attempts against Donald Trump.
The congressional task force investigating the July and September assassination attempts against President-elect Donald Trump has accused the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives of stonewalling. The Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump on Monday issued subpoenas seeking testimony from ATF employees after the bureau had not responded to lawmakers' multiple requests for documents and information, according to a news release.
One of the subpoenas targets an agent who participated in ATF's response to the July 13 shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, in which Trump was injured by a bullet that grazed his right ear. Two rally goers were also hit by gunfire and a third was killed in the assassination attempt. The second subpoena is for testimony from a supervisory agent, according to the task force. Letters announcing the subpoena from task force Chairman Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., and ranking member Rep.
Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., a retired Green Beret appointed to the 13-member House bipartisan task force investigating the attempted assassination of Trump, previously told reporters in August that Crooks had multiple encrypted accounts on multiple platforms based in Belgium, New Zealand and Germany. It remains unclear why Crooks had those accounts or what he used them for.
